Study Notes
- The heart is a four-chambered, hollow muscular organ surrounded by the pericardium.
- It is roughly the size and shape of a closed fist and located posterior to the sternum.
- The heart has three layers: epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium.
- There are four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
- The heart has four valves: right and left AV valves, right and left semilunar valves.
- The septa separate the atria and ventricles.
- The heart has its own blood supply through coronary circulation.
- The cardiac cycle involves systole and diastole.
- The electrical conduction system is initiated by the SA node.
- Heart-related conditions include angina pectoris, aortic stenosis, bacterial endocarditis, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and pericarditis.
